Where to meet wifey friends?


 New bride? In that case you may want to connect with other wives who can relate to being a newlywed. For one; you may not want to hang out in groups that have men anymore. You may also could use a woman friend that enjoys activities a lot of men may not want to attend such as nail salon visits, shopping, brunch, craft fairs, baby showers, or play dates. 

I love that this app is for women; although it is mainly moms using the app. Who knows; you may already have or maybe want to have children, adopt, or look into surrogacy in the future. This app is worth trying; I love the groups for recipes, hobbies, events, advice, crafts, fitness, and more. You do not have to attend events but I enjoy checking out the ones in my area. Many are a lot of fun; never have I been to one I did not enjoy a lot. 

There are even educational podcast style sessions on the app lead by marriage therapists, relationship coaches, and more. You may find them interesting!

Courthouse Weddings

Having a courthouse wedding ceremony? Yay! Unsure of what to wear? I have some ideas! I actually had a courthouse wedding and wore jeans and a sleeveless blouse. I think it totally fit my personality.


 At the courthouse in which I did my paperwork and vows; everyone dressed very casual such as myself. I seen only  one lady in an actual formal ball gown; so wear what you want. It's your special day and I doubt they'd kick you out if you showed up in a full on princess-style wedding gown. Do your thang! Just do not forget to have people take photos of you and your honey like I did. Our officiant also had a little tip jar he mentioned after our vows; so bring them a little something to say thanks!  

I bet if you go with a business-casual look; you will be fine. Maybe after the courthouse get all glammed up (or comfier) and have a dinner or romantic night alone. Congrats on your upcoming courthouse nuptials! I think courthouse weddings are amazing as you can save so much money skipping an expensive wedding. 

Some couples  would rather use the money they would spend on a pricey wedding...on property or a lavish honeymoon. And I do not blame them! Do what works best for you or a mix of a courthouse ceremony and your actual larger wedding. 

I wish I would have wore a cute little veil and carried a small bouquet but those are some other cute ideas.  
 Until next time! xoxo de

Now you do not have to spend a fortune on the purchase on a wedding gown. There is an awesome website I refer to brides quite often; Stillwhite. Many brides have found their dream wedding gown from the comfort of their own homes; while browsing the easy-to-use website.



If you want to recoup some money after your wedding day; you may want to even consign your own wedding dress after the big day. A lot of brides see no point in keeping their dress as it could take up space or they may want to make extra money. Learn about cosigning with Stillwhite to see if it would be a good fit for you. I hope you enjoy looking at the beautiful gowns just as much as I did. Please share with a friend you know who is getting married soon. Until next time! xoxo De
